The 'airport scanner doesn't see drugs' myth got debunked for me last month

I flew through Atlanta with a sealed bag of herbal tea that looked suspicious, and the TSA agent pulled me aside, swabbed it, and ran the test. Turns out they do check residue on things like that, I learned the hard way with a 45 minute delay. Anyone else get flagged for something dumb that wasn't actually illegal?

Swab test checks for explosives residue, not drugs. Big difference, lol.
